Footprints Villa, The Seafront, Viganj, Croatia — Hotel in Općina Orebić

This beautifully renovated and presented old "Captain's House" is perfect for a family or group stay.

Ideally located right on the seafront, it has a bakery, small supermarket and wine store within a few hundred meters, and is only a short 8km trip from big supermarkets at Orebić if you need more (and the villa has off-street parking if you have your own vehicle). The villa is well-equipped for self-catering, or you can take advantage of the many nearby restaurants and bars.

Multiple outdoor areas at the front and rear of the villa ensure that you always have somewhere outside to sit or dine even if the wind is blowing, and a huge central kitchen island bench and separate dining room provide indoor alternatives if you must.

If you don't want to swim in the Adriatic just across the road, the pool in the rear courtyard is a delight, with good privacy when swimming or relaxing on the sun loungers, and a double bedroom and separate bathroom with direct access off of the pool deck. A pool maintenance man services the pool at least every second day, early in the morning. He comes and goes through a service door before 7am so as not to disturb guests.

The villa is air-conditioned throughout and has UK satellite TV and fast broadband with wifi to stay in touch with the world.

Best of all are the friendly host Richard, and his local agent Fani, who were extremely helpful with arranging transfers to and from Dubrovnik, local car services, water taxis, and generally advising on the local area.

Our first visit to Croatia and it didn't disappoint! Viganj is a charming little village with a laid back pace of life! It has lovely bars and restaurants on top of the beach, a bakery, mini market, church and even has a water taxi to take you over to Korcula which is definitely worth a visit! Footprints is a beautiful, spacious villa and its beachfront location gives you the most stunning views of the Adriatic from the kitchen, terrace , master bedroom and roof terrace. Access to the sea is great and we spent several hours sitting on the jetty facing the villa taking in the breathtaking views and watching the windsurfers, yachts and other boats come and go. The villa is modern, stylish, very well equipped and has a beautiful pool area with barbecue, comfortable seating/dining area to enjoy in the evening after a day of paddle boarding or kayaking (hired from Water donkey which is only 7 min stroll from villa) in the crystal clear water in the bay. The large complimentary welcome pack was a nice surprise, especially as our flight arrived late so we had snacks/drinks provided on arrival at the villa. The climate here is great as there is a constant breeze making it feel cooler than it actually was and Fani (housekeeper) was very helpful with local information and responded to texts very quickly. All in all an amazing week at this lovely villa in a beautiful part of Croatia and we hope to...

We are beyond pleased to have picked Footprints for this holiday.

Nestled right in front of the water, we could not have asked for a better villa. It was an absolute delight the entire time we were there. With plenty of room, the villa was spacious with 5 bedrooms+5bathrooms, pool, AC rooms, large kitchen for cooking and entertaining, outdoor chill areas and indoor/outdoor formal dining table with ocean view. It always has a free car park on the side, which comes handy if you drive to the villa yourself.

The cute little village, Viganj, is filled with charm. Cute little restaurants on the water, a beach bar, roadside fruit-vendors, and a great bakery nearby. We did some water activities (windsurfing, kite surfing, kayaking) but if you are a beach guy like myself, you can soak all day in your private pool or the beach, just outside your front door.

The attentive host added an extra layer of warmth to our experience, making us feel truly welcome. Their thoughtful recommendations enriched our trip, leading us to discover hidden gems and exciting activities we might have otherwise missed (Be sure to book a water taxi to Korcula, for a day. It is a must.) Our time at this villa was nothing short of extraordinary, and we left with cherished memories of an unforgettable stay. Thank you for having us.

Highly...
